that ONCE, Ail executive session was held
by the council THIS evening, anu mit,i it All
danger Of a contest between that body md

nations previously made were confirmed. It
is understood that the voices of Two or three
of the counciincn were still for war, but
they were powerless to accomplish anything.
It seems that the senate confirmed all the
nominations sent in yesterday, except that
OF James Twoinbly for trustee of the Grand
Eorks university, md he was opposed by
collins II Twombly is rejected, as he is
Republican. the governor will send in an
other name thai they may be agreed upon
